SAMUEL MOLLENGARDEN, OF NEW YORK, Y., ASSIGNOR TO ROYAL IMPORTING CO., AGOPARINERSHIP OF NEW YORK, OOMPOSED 0F SAMUEL MOLLENGARDEN, \VILLIAMSMITH, AND HARRY BER/K, ALL 013 NEW YORK, N. Y.

BEAD WIRE.

Application filed July 17, 1925. Serial No. 44,341.

T 0 all whom 2'25 may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL MOLLENGAR- DEN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, inthe county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved BeadlVire, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to bead wire and more particularly to bead wireconsisting of two or more strands of wire, said strands at one end beingtwisted together whereby a stitlened end is formed on one end of thewire to allow the threading oi": the beads without the employmentot aseparate needle so that the bead wire in effect carries its own needleas an integral part thereof.

lVith this and other objects in view, the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction and combinations and arrangements ofparts which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out inthe claim.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a view, illustrating myimproved bead wire in position around a cardboard holder or support,which is a convenient manner of commercializing the sale of the device;

Figure 2 is a fragmentary view in elevation, illustrating my improvedbead wire.

My improved bead wire A consists of a plurality of strands of wire, andwhile I have illustrated two strands 1 and 2 it is to be distinctlyunderstood that I do not limit myself to the particular number ofstrands of wire other than at least two should be provided.

The bead wire may be of any desired length and may have a coupling ring3 attached to one end with a ring 4 for coupling engagement therewith,said ring 4 adapted to be secured to the other end of the bead wireafter the beads are in position on the wire.

My invention resides broadlyin providing a bead wire of this typeconsisting of a plurality of strands, the strands being tightly twistedtogether at one end as at 5, constituting an integral needle on the endof the bead wire, so that the beads 6, illus trated by dot and dashline, may be posi tioned on the wire by projecting the twisted or needleportion 5 therethrough.

It will be noted that I employ my improved bead wire and dispensealtogether with the necessity of a needle for threading the beads, andat the same time I provide a plurality of strands of wire which aresecured together at both ends, the twisted portion 5 constitutingsecuring means at one end, and the other end of the bead wire beingsecured to the coupling ring 3 and twisted together as shown at 7,although, Of course, I do not limit myself to the particular means forsecuring the coupling ring to the bead wire.

Bead wire of this type may be coiled around a cardboard support 8 whichconstitutes a convenient means for supporting the article and displayingthe same for sale.

I claim:

A head wire composed oi a plurality of strands, said strandsdisconnected. throughout the main portion of their lengths and securedtogether at their end portions only, the securing means at one endcon'iprising the twisting of said strands together througl'iout aportion of their length whereby a rela tively stiff member is formed forthreading beads on the wire without the use of a separate needle.

SAMUEL MOLLEWGARDIJN.
